📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a knife or a mandolin, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8- to 1/4- inch thick. Place the slices on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Allow to sit ⏱️ 10 minutes before patting dry.

Remove the paper towels, drizzle the zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and roast until just tender, about ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and the spinach, a handful at a time; cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, parsley, basil, eggs, 1/2 cup of the parmesan, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir well.

To assemble the lasagna, spread a third of the mushroom mixture mixture over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon about 1 1/4 cups of the marinara sauce on top. Arrange half of the zucchini strips over the top, carefully overlapping the edges. Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture onto the zucchini and spread to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers once. Top with the remaining mushroom mixture. Dollop on a final layer of the remaining marinara.
